The Role Leaders Play in Company Culture
Hey there.
This week is a podcast week 🙌 and thrilled to be sharing this one with you. I sit down with Abbie Pugh, Partner @ Multiple, a consulting company that helps tech companies grow through purpose, product and people. Abbie brings a wealth of knowledge to the table and we cover topics like the importance of onboarding, the symbiotic relationship between process and trust, and how leaders can play a proactive role when it comes to shaping culture (hint; it has to do with communication).
🎧 Listen to our podcast with Abbie 🙌
Make sure you read Abbie’s brilliant piece where she relates Culture to Fitness aptly title ‘WTF is Culture’.
Until next week,
Gillian 🤘
